HTC Titan and its 4.7-inch screen is now available on AT&T

As of Sunday, you can officially purchase the HTC Titan on AT&T. The Titan is the last of three new Windows Phone handsets to hit AT&T in November. It boasts a 4.7-inch screen (one of the largest we’ve seen), a 1.5GHz processor, Windows Phone 7.5 operating system, and an 8MP rear camera that some say rivals (or bests) the iPhone 4S camera. 

Our experience with the Titan has been mostly positive. It’s definitely too large for some people, but thanks to its slim form factor, it doesn’t feel a ton bigger than the 4.3-inch phones on the market. It’s nice to have the screen real estate as well. Windows Phone is one of the better looking smartphone OS’s and benefits from the larger screen size nicely.

Samsung brings a Squid Game season 2 surprise to the Galaxy Store
A promotional image for the launch of the Netflix app in the Samsung Galaxy Store.

Samsung is working hard to attract Galaxy device owners to visit and download apps from the Galaxy Store, its own pre-installed app store, which rivals Google's Play Store and is pre-installed on all certified Android phones. To do this, Samsung has announced the arrival of Netflix and an exclusive incentive to download it — a special Samsung-only look at the forthcoming Squid Game season 2 Netflix series.

Download the streaming app from the Galaxy Store, and an “exclusive, never-before-seen clip” from Squid Game season 2 will be yours, which is said to provide a “darker, twisted look into the storyline for the upcoming season, and is only available on the Galaxy Store.” You’ll have to be quick to see it, though, as the clip expires on December 26, when Squid Game season 2 premiers on Netflix.

New renders provide a clear look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Plus
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S Pen stylus.

Samsung has taken steps in the past to handle leaks, but that hasn't slowed the flow of information this year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup barely has any secrets left given all the information we've seen emerge over the past several months, but now we have mostly clear renders of the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Tipster Evan Blass shared the renders on X, and the images show the differences in design between the flagship devices. The Galaxy S25 Plus has corners with a more distinct curve, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra has more angular corners.

Android 16 adds a new way to use the Google Pixel 9’s fingerprint sensor
Pixel 9 Pro in Rose Quartz.

Biometric security — the ability to unlock your phone with your fingerprint or face — is an amazing feature, but you often have to turn on the phone's screen before you can use it. That's because many fingerprint sensors are optical and need light in order to work. Fortunately, Android 16 will make it so that you can open your Pixel 9 without turning your phone screen on at all (while also avoiding the groan that comes from searing your eyes.)

The feature was noted in the Android 16 Developer Preview 2, or DP2, by 9to5Google. The findings imply that this only applies to the Google Pixel 9 series because while it does appear in the Settings search on the Pixel 8 Pro, there's no option to enable it. This is likely due to the Pixel 9's ultrasonic fingerprint scanner; the improved hardware doesn't require light to use it.
